"If I quieted the voices in my head I would face the day with nothing to write."

“The time to begin writing an article is when you have finished it to your satisfaction. By that time you begin to clearly and logically perceive what it is that you really want to say.” Mark Twain.

“And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.”
― Roald Dahl

Sassafras



The little one is now potty trained and is getting an Aunt Shanie weekend. She is fierce, independent and full of sass. I meet Kerry at Taco Time in Issaquah to pick up Gabriella. I tell her, her new nickname will be sassafras.

"Aunt Shanie, it's sweet sassafras."

I teach her how to make tortillas and we have taco's for dinner. We water the garden and she runs circles around and through the house.

Later she brushes her teeth in the bathroom getting ready for bed and scurries back out to the living room to get Nick. There is a spider in the sink. He is dutiful and follows her back to the bathroom to dispose of it, but is back quickly to have me come and see the size of the scary spider.

It's hardly the size of crumb.
